SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1861.
Sustain the Government.
All the farmers who make any surplus cot-
ton. wheat, corn, Ac.,—staple agricultural pro
ductions—are called upon to sell the same to
our Government, and take its hoods in pay
ment, to sustain us in the present war. Tha
Government wants $50,000,WO, and propoaea
to procure it from our own people, rather then
from ebroad, and to take that which our own
people have to spare, rather than ask them for
naonejr. Every farmer, from the least to the
greatest, raises something to sell. The Govern
ment propoaea to take that part of avary mao’s
crop, and pay for it in Confederate Bonds. The
cotton, wheat, corn, Ao., will anewer the purpose
of our Government the same as so much money,
while bonds a ill also be the same to our people
as money. The bonds will be a circulating me
dium, and will be a better ourrency than any
hank ieeuee, because upon a more substantial
basis, and will not gst out of their "locality"
by crossing a State line. They will be more
convenient than gold, equally as good, and,
thertforo, on tha whole, a better currency
than specie. These bonds bear interest at 8
per cent, which is pa/fble semi annually.
This arrangement will be a great conven
ience to farmere in the sale of their produce.
They will know just where it is to be told, and
will not have to go into the market to be chaf
fered with and cheated by sharpers. Every
pound of cotton or tobacco, or bushel of corn,
wheat or rice, which a farmer will have to
spare, ha can at once engage to the Govern
ment *nd then he at no further trouble about
finding sale for it
This plan is one of the most mutually ad
vantageous that ever was devised by any Gov
ernment to raise funds. It is not only an ad
vantage to the people in the ways mentioned,
and in many others, but by it, the Govern
ment, supplies its wants without going to cor
morant money shavers, who demand exhorbi-
tant rate* of interest— who live by heavy shaves
and big per cents, and gouge as deeply as pos
sible every one who dealt with them—especial
ly Governments— though these remarks do not
apply to the moneyed men of the South, aa to
Wall Street financiers, for, among all classes
here, we have more virtue than in any other
part of the world.
The "old wreck "has been borrowing large
ly for years; and every time a call has been
made, its agents have gone "shinning round" in
Wall Street, making terms with those whose
aim has always been to clutch everything pos
sible by all sort* of foul combinations and un-
patriotio conduct. If our Government bad at
tempted to get money abroad, it would have
obtained it readily—for its loans were solicited
by European capitalists; but it would have
had to endure the same fiayidg and gouging
operation, to a greater or lees extent, that all
others do who go to such sources for means of
support. All this is wisely and most happily
avoided, by our Government taking from our
people that which they have to spare, and
which will answer their purpose exactly the
same as so much gold; and then giving in re
turn for it that which exactly suit* the peo
ple.
From addresses which have been issued to
the planters of Georgia, by Messrs. Howell and
T. K A. Cobb, and E. A. Nesbit, we see that
every member of Congress has been constitut
ed an agent of the Government, to bring this
subject before the people of the Confederacy,
aod take their subscriptions. The plan was
set forth in the late speech of ex-Gov. Cobb at
this place, which we published. With the re
marks we now make, and from that speech, all
our readers will understand this matter—hence,
we do not publish either of the addresses, on
account of the great pressure of news, Ac., on
our columns. We are very sure that nothing
is needed but to lay the plan before our peo
ple, to have a most hearty response. We an
nex the form of subscription, with a copy of
the Act authorising its
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
We, the eubecribers, agree to contribute to
the defence of the Confederate States the por
tion of our crop set down to oar respective
names; the same to be plaoed in ware house,
or in our lector's hands, and told on or before
the first day of next; and the net
proceeds of sale we direct to be made over to
the Treasurer of the Confederate Statea, for
bonds for same amount, bearing eight per cent?
interest.

AN ACT,
To authorize a Loan and issue of Treasury
Notes, and prescribe the punishment for
forging the same, and for forging certificates
ot Stock and Bonds.
Section 1. Ths Congress of the'Confederate
States of America do enact, that the Secretary
of the Treasury may, with the assent of the
President of the Confederate Slates, issue fifty
millions of dollars in bonds, payable at tha
expiration of twenty years from their date,
aud bearing a rate of interest not exceeding 8
per cent, per annum until they become pave-
ble, the said interest to be paid semi-annually.
The said bonds, after publto advertisement in
three newspapers within the Confederate
States for six weeks, to be sold for specie, mil
itary stores, or for the proceeds of sales of raw
r roduce or manufactured articles, to be paid
a specie or bills of exchange, in such a man
ner and under snob regulations as may be pre-
scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with
the aeeeut ot the President. But ft shall be
the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to
report, at iU uext ensuing session, to the Con.
gross of tha Confederate Statea a precise state
ment of his transactions under the law. Nor
shall the said bonds be issued in fractional
pai U of the hundred, or to be exchanged by
the said Secretary for Treasury notes, or the
notea of any bond, corporation, or Individual,
hut only in (he manner herein prescribed ;
Provided, That nothing herein contained
shall be so construed as to prevent the Beer*,
tary of (he Treasury from receiving foreign
bills of enchange in payment of these bonds.

KalfUU Templar.
We published yesterday an appeal from
B. F ranch, Grand Muter of th. KoIgbuTtea- ' Tk. rogolar d.il y r.tio
pUr of lb. United Stated, to the Ord*r through- troop, in tb. UnlUd Stal
out lb. country i «»d ropiiM thoruto from th. ' " J ' * *"
Grind Muter of Virginia .ml the Grand R.-
cordsr of Mississippi. *
Wa personally know B- B. French, and have
lossy that be is the most anmltfgated, unprin
cipled Yankee sneak wa ever taw anywhere —
He is from Now Hampshire, and is one of the
oorrupt hangers on and lebbyfWawi'ODufi thp (
Federal Capitol, and has been for several yean.
He was a Democrat and Marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia undsr Franklin Pierce, and
op to that time wss considered an honest and
respectable men, so ftr ss we know. From
some esuse he was turned out of the office, and
has been lying areund there, living on the
"plckiags and stealings’* whioh he shares with
those whom he helps to "put through” such
jobs. Lsst year he connected himself with the
Black Republican Association of Washington
City, and was made its President. In a day or
two after the Presidential elaotion, ha had pe
titions circulating among the citissns of Wash
ington, to which hs was soliciting signatures,
praying Old Abe to appoint him Marshal of
the District—showing the animus of his Black
Republicanism. His gait, as he walks—the
intonations of his voice, when in conversation,
and everything about him, indicate, to an in
telligent observer, that be is a low Hung Yan
kee sneak, without a particle of honesty in his
composition.
His object in issuing the address is this: He
hopes to induce some of the Knights Templar
in the South, to refuse to take up arms against
the invaders of our soil. This is one of the
means resorted to by our enomiea to spread dis
affection among us.
ne asks the Templars in the South to "labor
aud pray that hoatilitiea may be suspended till
the mild counsels of peace can be appealed to."
The meaning of this is, that the South stop all
their military movements until Lincoln shall
have bound us hand and foot. Wherever his
address goes, his true character, and his evi
dently wicked motives should be proclaimed.
Vanished.
This morning wa breathe more freely. The
last vestige of Lincoln’s hateful Government
has departed from us forever, at the command
of our worthy Post Master General. The Post
Offices and Mails in tbe South have been nom
inally—under the control of tbe Government
at Washington—at least tba Mails have been
oarried under its contracts, and the offices have
been regulated by its laws. It is done. No
more have they a show of authority among us.
No more do any of their laws or regulations
have any force among us, except such as have
been solemnly re-enacted by our own authori
ties. It is wiped out from among us, world
without end. Would to God that we could
■ay, Farewell! Peace go with you!—or some
thing so; but we cannot. Our burning ven
geance shall follow aud haunt the wicked
agents of that "old wreck" and all their tools,
until their haughty prida and demon*lust for
gold aud power shall be laid low in tha dust.
North-weateru Virginia
Has been heard from. There are nineteeu
counties that give a majority against Secession;
and in the Panhandle and the extreme North
west counties, the majorities agsiost it are
large.
From the best dat ta*hat was at hand in
Richmond on the 27th inst., it was apparent
that the whole anti-Secession vote in the State
would be between 20,000 aud 25,000. It was
estimated that tbe entire vote of the State
would be the largest ever polled—probably
reaching 180,000—and that tbe majority for Se
cession would be about 130,000.
We have not the slightest doubt that the
whole State will cheerfully uquiesce in the
legally expressed will of this vast majority, ex
cept the Panhandle counties and tha city of
Wheeling. We are not sufficiently posted on
the feeling there to give a very positive idea
on the subject. They may refuse to abide by
tbe decision of the people, and perhaps will
be allowed to attash themselves to Ohio or
Pennsylvania. Tbia, howevar, is mera conjec
ture, without any knowledge of how the mat
ter will finally terminate.
Kentucky Invaded.
We aee it stated in our exchanges, that the
■oil of Kentucky has been invaded by Lin
coln’s vandals, from Cairo. It is said that they
have occupied Paducah and Columbus. The
news comes in ths shape of telegraphic dis
patches, and we do not know to what extent
it is true. If so, it would seem that tha posi
tion of armed neutrality which the State has
taken, will at once be put to a test.
Arms from ths United State* Government
have been sent into tbe State and distributed
at various points. This was dons in responce
to a call from the Union men in the State. Th*
8onthern Rights men had not, and do not now
have, the slightest objection to it. The arm*
will fall into the hands of friends of the South
very generally.
Georgia Troops in the Field,
Governor Brown informed us ytsUrday that
Georgia now had nine thousand men, armed,
equipped, and in the field; and that he had
ordered Gen. Phillips' Brigade of 2,500 men to
Camp at 8myrna on the 11th instant, on half
pay, for drill for two months—subject to the
order of th* President at any moment; that
two othar regiments wars being organised now,
and that ha should respond to all demands
made by the President without regard to the
quota properly duo from Georgia.
That Battle wf Hampton, Where TOO of
the Enemy Were Killed.
We take tha following from tbe Richmond
Dispatch of the 27th ultimo:
Tuaeaarsio Dur*vests.—No one oan rs-
grot more than ourselves the error with which
o«T Norfolk telegraph** oorreepesdent was led,
and in turn led this paper ae ttsU aa oifae* in
Pstersbsrg, in tha acoount W a battle near
Hampton. The dispatch was tent by a reliable
gentleman, and we have every reason to know
that hs Is Incapable of wilfully deceiving the
public, bat must bavs been ImjMSstnpon him.
•elf. At the same time, it is fartlnei (b enr*
selves to add that we sissply etfpNfertd a hope
that the reported victory might prove tme,

ized themselves, on Saturday last, into a mil

to meet every Saturday. The following ere
the officers:

The oorpe not having a name, and it.being
their determination to prepare to defeod their

olden time, we have taken tbe liberty of call
ing them the "Nancy Iiarte” until they shall
adopt one. We have no doubt they wilt prove
as true as did Nancy Hart if tbe emergency
ever presents itself; and, therefore, we do
not think a more appropriate name could be

Lincoln Calls for Garrlbaldl.

published at Ravenna, in flialy, contains aa
amusing rumor to the etfeet that Garibaldi is

"Among the reports circulating in tbe news

port it considerable, being 200,000 bales,
against 90,000 bales at Ibis time last yaar,
and great exertions will be made throughout
the Cotton diet riot s of India to occupy tbe
ground which tbe American planters have va
cated ; but all changes of this kind must nec
essarily be progressive, and it is clear (bat we
have very discouraging proapeots to look in
the face, arising o»t of the unhappy position
of affairs in the Western world.”
Well, it may be asked, what ia that "com tog
event” now casting its “ shadow before ?”—
Refer to the quotation from the London Her
ald Read the extract from the Liverpool
Timas. England only bad, on the 4th of
this month, "twenty-three weeks” Cotton
supply on hand ; aod tbe "daily bread of four
or five millions” of her people depends upon
that supply being kept up. By tba 1st of Ju
ly, the shoe will begin to pinch John Bull be
yond the power of endurance. He then will
have only fifteen weeks supply. He must,
therefore, have supplies of the new crop as
fast as it can be brought to market and ship
ped ; and if Lincoln’s blockade is kept up, he
will sink Liocolo’sblocksding squadrons,clear
tbe seas of Lincoln's ships, aod blockade, very
likely, all Northern ports, nntil Lineoln and
his advisers are awakened to such a proper
sense of their duty as to be glad to make
peace.
England must have Cotton, if her leading
journals are to be believed, at any price. Not
a bale can she or any other nation get from
us while our ports are blockaded. The Cat*
ton will remain on tbe plantation* until the
coasts are cleared. The Southern people oan
well afford to bide their time, aa thay plainly
sea a coming event casting a mighty shadow in
advanee of its appearance.— New Orleans Cret
ent.
Reminiscence of Gen* Harney.
The defection of this unprincipled traitor
to the ranks of the abolition army ia not a
surprising faot, when we coma to appreciate
tbe infamy of bis past career.
As we are advised by a gentleman of this
city wbo knew him personally more than
twenty years ago at his borne in Missouri, the
records of the Franklin county oourt, as far
back as 1837, shows that be was publicly
tried under charge for whipping to death
negro woman in his employ, for an alleged
larceny, of which she was afterwards found
guiltless. The indictment against him was
found in tbe county of St. Louis, but the ven
ue was changed to Franklin, owing to tbe oir-
oumstaocts of tbe presiding Judge (Mnllau-
phy) being and interested party. Tbe charge
to the jury was delivered by Judge Allen, and
(be verdict was that said negro oame to her
death by beiug whipped to death with a cow
hide, in tbe hands of William S. Harney.—
These facts can be sustained by responsible
men whose names we have on band.
Besides tbia piece of atrocity, this chival
rous commandant of Lincoln’s western divi
sion of myrmidons has been charged by army
officers with tbe most arrant oowardlce. He VM
furthermore charged by Gen. 8cott with "ig
norance, passion and caprice," and in a let
ter dated July 29, 1801, to the War Depart
ment, he is branded as being "notorious for
profanity, brutrality, incompetency, pecula
tion, recklessness, insubordination, iyraaaj,
and mendacity 1” Ws only mention this ar
ray of evidenoe for tbe purpose of showing
what must be the moral charaoter of that man
wbo would basely desert his section in tbe
hour of her peril, and wield theeword for tbe
■laughter of his countrymen. None other
could be so insensible to the ordinary impul-
pulses of humanity.—-Memphis Appeal.

dispatsb :
Richmond, May 28.—You suggest in your
issue of tbe 23d a new Southern Associated
Press, with an executive heed in theConfed
erate States. There ia suoh an association es
tablished, with its head offloe at Riobmond, of
which I am manager. G. D. DUNCAN.
Editor Set. Republican.
Glad to bear it, Mr. Dnnoan. Aad now,
since you are duly inaugurated ai the head of
tfco new cooovrn, we hope yon will set about
correcting tbe abuseee of tbe old. We will juat
here specify two to begin with :
1st. Confine your reports to faots and piob
able rumors, and in all ossa# to matters of
prims importance. The newspapers will hriog
ibe rest along in due season.
2d- Aud this is a crying evil—while we de
not want nawa before it bee happened, do spur
up all hands and have it sent as eoea as it
transpires, in order that country aabteribera
of sueb papers aa are compelled te go to press
at an eirty hour of tbe evenfng may not re-
ceiv* lateUigeise after it iatwa days eld. Tbe
Savannah papers have been greatly annoyed
by thie delay, ae their principal mail for tbe
tntetipf departs a early dn hour before aid-
